What’s the origin of the idea for your product?
We saw professionals and teams struggle to get consistent, high-quality photos without hiring expensive photographers or wasting time scheduling shoots. From our own experience creating YouTube thumbnails, it often took an entire day to finalize one - delaying our content launches. We realized we weren’t alone; thousands of professionals and content creators face the same problem every day. That’s why we built HeadShotly.ai to make creating professional photos and visuals instant and effortless.
What problem is your product solving and how?
HeadShotly.ai replaces traditional photoshoots with instant, realistic 4K AI photos. We offer model training, team photos, thumbnails-from-scripts, virtual try-on, 8K enhancement, and more — all inside one unified platform. Our combination of speed, realism, and multi-feature creation makes us stand out from other niche AI tools.
What’s the #1 thing you’re looking to gain from the AppSumo campaign?
Community feedback, word-of-mouth growth, use cases of our multi-feature AI platform.
What are your plans with the customers, cash, and learnings from the AppSumo campaign?
We’ll use the feedback and revenue from AppSumo to scale our product faster - improving user onboarding, expanding photo styles, and launching new features like AI video portraits, smart background editing, and enterprise tools. Our goal is to make HeadShotly.ai the go-to visual creation platform for professionals and creators worldwide.
Any details to clarify about the deal?
